Default Towing Capacity

Howdy, Im thinking about putting a receiver hitch on the Honda. The car is a eg hatch with a jdm d15b w/5spd. It has a few mods like header, y-pipe, 2 inch exhaust through a Magnaflow, CAI, and tune. So it might have a few extra ponies. I would be pulling a 400ex that weighs 400lbs and probably a small 4x6 trailer that is another 400lbs, so about 800lbs. The car doesnt have any low end power so i would be worried about frying the clutch and breaks. What do yall think? And anyone know where I can purchase one of these said receivers?

edit: I found a few, but they all say fascia trimming required, which i do not wanna do.

i say would would be fine, just dont try and pull it up a mtn, i hauled a 2.9 v6 engine in the back on my civic the other day over the mtn and it did fine, if you do have a problem on your clutch when you replace it upgrade to a heavier duty clutch

Ive already done that once and ran from the cops, its not something I wanna do again. Everywhere there is for me to ride is a pretty good distance from me.
